On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Ping'an Road Airport sent Guorong.

The two agreed that after Bashu met again a few days later, Guorong entered the customs.

When I got out of the airport, I signed a few fans who dared to come up and ask for autographs.

Lu Ping'an started the New Year's greeting trip with a good mood.

The main task in the first few days of the year is to bring a few relatives down.

Now Lu Ping'an is also a big celebrity, and he can attract onlookers wherever he goes.

When it was sunrise, a group of neighbors of the uncle's family chatted with Lu Ping'an.

The neighbors regard Lu Ping'an as their own children.

chatted and chatted, and scolded Lao Mouzi, saying that the movie was not good, and it was too safe for us.

After scolding, he turned his head and gave advice to Lu Ping'an.

"Peace, next time you take a happy picture, our whole family will go and have fun."

"How can a comedy movie be filmed, Ping An is shooting science fiction, and he is a science fiction director."

"That science fiction can't be laughed at? It's a comedy movie when you laugh, right? ”

"Don't listen to her, just shoot what you're good at, and then we'll go to the whole street to cheer!"

“。。。”

The aunts of the neighborhood committee who are chirping make the uncle's house very lively.

When the meal began, everyone left.

Uncle also mentioned movies at this time.

His proposal has a lot of reference significance:

"Now that you have such a high-grossing movie in hand, plus you are still so young, do something that you are not very good at in the next one, and the outside world will be much more tolerant of you, anyway, if you can't do it, you can do what you are good at."

Lu Ping'an wanted to say that he was actually "good at everything", but he still accepted it humbly: "I know." ”

"Well, I think you can try to lean on our Chinese culture, Chinese culture is so broad, if you have the ability, try it, carry it forward, and export it to foreigners."

That's really good advice.

Lu Ping'an also thinks so.

What is the purpose of making a movie.

Winning awards and box office is only one aspect, and making cultural output advantages is the most important goal in the future.

Otherwise, why did he spend so much effort on "Kung Fu Panda".

It's just that "Kung Fu Panda" will take many years to do well, and Lu Ping'an feels that he can try to be the first in the next commercial film.

"I'll think about it."

"Well, I won't say more, I don't know what you do, but one thing is that there is nothing wrong with how to do it, that is, don't go too far from your roots at any time, so that you won't drift around and can't find your way."

"It's very profound, I'll try to understand it."

"Understand while practicing, don't worry, you're only 21 years old, and you still have a long way to go."

As the uncle spoke, he took out the red envelope, "Give." ”

"I don't need to."

"Wait until you're married, take it."

"Oops, this... Okay, okay. Hahaha... ”

From the first to the fourth day of the new year, Lu Ping'an has been paying New Year's greetings to his relatives.

This is the third year he has traveled over.

The first two years were all because of the Berlin Film Festival.

There is no suitable reason this year, so naturally I have to bow down.

The first and second years of junior high school are on the side of the original owner's father, and the third and fourth are on the side of the original owner's mother.

After "Source", Lu Ping'an became a "big director", it's not that he wants to deny it, everyone thinks you are, you are.

So all the way down, I met countless people, signed countless names, and took countless photos.

On the fifth day of the new year, Lu Ping'an began to visit the elders who were not relatives.

Uncle Liao, Secretary Dong, Hu Qingquan, Han Sanpin, etc.

After a round of worship, only Jiang Wen was missing, but Jiang Wen went to other places, so Lu Ping'an's New Year's greeting trip ended.

Next, it is for others to give him New Year's greetings.

The first is Sister Hua.

Sister Hua, the agent, is really in place, in addition to greetings during the New Year's holidays, some small gifts are never left behind.

New Year's greetings are really just New Year's greetings, and I didn't ask about any projects, just such an agent, and the director will generally give her more opportunities.

Lu Ping'an is inevitably vulgar, at least next time she wants to find an actor, and if she comes to the door again, she will definitely leave a less important one.

Liu Qianqian's mother and daughter also came to pay New Year's greetings, and after not seeing each other for a long time, Liu Qianqian seems to have grown taller.

"Brother Ping'an!"

Liu Qianqian is still full of vitality.

Lu Ping'an asked: "Tianlong is finished filming, right?" ”

"I finished filming at the 27th of the year."

"After filming, you have to go to class well, I heard that no one in the school has seen you much, how ugly it will be to say it in the future."

"Aren't you the same for me?"

"I'm a director, just use my grades to speak."

"Good, good, you're amazing."

"Yo, who learned this style of speaking, it's quite a scoundrel."

"How's it going, isn't it out of line?"

"Hah, little brat."

"I'm 16!"

"Good, good, you're amazing."

"Wow, you learn from me."

The mother and daughter ate and left.

didn't mention the project, Lu Ping'an could see that Liu Xiaoli actually had a good idea in her heart.

followed by Deng Chao, Li Bo and others, these are not friends like Zhang Songwen, but the relationship is also good, sitting down and talking and laughing together, they are actually very happy.

The rest are because the relationship is not familiar to that point, or simply thin-skinned, just text messages or phone calls to the New Year, and they don't dare to come.

Lu Ping'an actually thinks that I am not afraid that you will come to pay New Year's greetings, send blessings to the New Year, auspicious, but what I'm afraid of is that you are coming, saying something that you don't have, so it's better not to come.

When it was the tenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Ping'an closed the door and thanked the guests, and he was going to Bashu.

As a result, Jiang Wen called at this time: "I'm back, it's time for you to come to pay New Year's greetings!" ”

Still so unkind.

But Lu Ping'an likes it.

It's too polite, isn't it rusty?

Lu Ping'an said into the microphone: "I'll come over now." ”

As a result, Jiang Wen replied, "I'll come to you." ”

"How can a teacher give a New Year's greeting to a student first?"

"Who told you I came to pay New Year's greetings?"

"And who are you?"

"I'm here to collect the debt!"

Lu Ping'an: "... ”

He knew that Jiang Wen was asking for a script.

This has to be given, it has been said a long time ago, and I haven't had time to talk about it.

It's just a big New Year's to collect debts.

Is it to bury him, or to put him in jail?

Hang up.

Lu Ping'an walked to the study.

took out the two scripts that had been prepared in the drawer a long time ago, and decided to hand over Jiang Wen's fate to the coin.

As he spoke, he took out a dollar coin and threw it up.

"Oh, it's jail."

。。。。。。。

Two hours later, in the courtyard, Jiang Wen sat on the sofa and read the script intently.

After reading it once, Jiang Wen nodded again and again.

He thinks that this film is very rewarding!

The script that Lu Ping'an took out this time is called "Hunger Platform".

It's a more naked film than the class issues discussed in Parasite.

It's about a magical prison where food is transported down from the top floor in the form of an elevator.

Each prisoner is randomly assigned to the prison floor once a month.

If you are lucky enough to go to the top, the food is the most abundant, and you can eat as you like, but if you go to the bottom, it will be miserable, and you have to ask the upper class to keep a little, otherwise you will have to eat people, or be eaten.

The huge prison in this film is the real society, the feast is a limited social resource, the upper class is full of food and drink, the middle class barely maintains decency, the lower class people can't lick their bones, all the evil of human nature is stimulated, and people can only eat people.

The managers on the 0th floor look down from the top and can't see how many layers of hell there are, and everyone at the upper level is doing well, so they are quite satisfied with their work, and even full of pride.

In the end, the people at the bottom use their lives to transmit signals, but the people outside the upper class can't get the real meaning at all.

This film is actually very suitable for impacting awards.

In fact, Lu Ping'an also thought about coming up with "Parasite", but in comparison, "Hunger Platform" is more detached from "locality".

The world of "Hunger Platform" is more allegorical to human society as a whole, and "Parasite" also has this meaning, but it is more deeply related to the social background.

To put it simply, when you watch "Hunger Platform", you don't think of the country where the film was produced, but when you watch "Parasite", you think that South Korea is like that.

This also saves Lu Ping'an from being labeled as a "scar of the mother country".

Of course, this is certainly a bit one-sided.

However, from another point of view, such as cost, difficulty of filming, etc., "Hunger Platform" is obviously more suitable.

After reading it for a long time, Jiang Wen closed the script, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, and after a long time, he asked Lu Ping'an: "Your brain... ”

"It's so long!"

Lu Ping'an answered directly.

He'd heard this kind of thing so many times, and he got tired of it.

Jiang Wen also shook his head and laughed, and then asked, "When will you shoot?" ”

"You can get ready first."

"Can I be the protagonist?"

"Do you think it can be done?"

The protagonist in the film is a weak scholar-type person, Jiang Wen thought for a while and said, "I can try." ”

Then he added: "Or do you change it again?" ”

Lu Ping'an smiled and shook his head: "Don't change it." ”

After speaking, Jiang Wen was a little regretful, but he listened to Lu Ping'an, "But the main thing is that if it's really not suitable, you can be my assistant director." ”

Jiang Wen brushed his spirit: "Really?!" ”

"The premise is that you can't put your name on it, you know the reason, and the most important thing is that the theme and script structure of the film can't be changed, the performances and lines, you can play, let's discuss."

"No problem!"

Jiang Wen was happy.

Lu Ping'an was also happy.

One of the difficulties in adapting foreign films is the localization of lines, especially this kind of literary film.

As for changing the plot, script structure, etc., he hasn't been able to get involved in this step for the time being, and then it's better to take his time.

And if you want to restore it well, or even look at "surpassing", you must introduce a big bull.

Jiang Wen is very suitable, and he has also had successful experiences.

Of course, the premise is still that sentence, and the theme and script structure cannot be changed.

Now it seems that the combination of Lu Ping'an and Jiang Wen is actually very suitable.

Because of his films, themes and creativity are really strong points, and they are not easy to change.

Of course, there are also places that need to be changed, such as making the film not like the original film, then R-rated, reducing bloody scenes, or changing the way of expression to make it more in line with the three major European ones.

The lines are the same, but this is Lu Ping'an's weakness, let Jiang Wen play just right.

The matter was finalized, Jiang Wen stuffed a red envelope for Lu Ping'an, saying that it was given as a teacher, and then took the script and left.

Lu Ping'an opened the red envelope, 20 yuan.

He suddenly realized that his student was so cheap

Forget it, the red envelope is the heart, don't care.

The award-winning movie is done, and the next thing is the next commercial film.

Regarding the choice of commercial films, Lu Ping'an already has an idea.

First of all, the box office potential must be high, in the current environment, anyone has to die, and the crushing ability is off the charts.

Secondly, it should be the same as what he said in the uncle.

To have Chinese cultural symbols, you have to have your own roots, and if you don't have them, you have to add a little bit to them.

It is best to bring some comedy elements to increase the popularity of moviegoers.

Of course, it is better to have a small space, and you can use special effects, so that the cost will not be large.

If you can, there will be some room for adaptation.

Counting on his fingers like this, Lu Ping'an soon had a goal.

This is a story related to security guards

That's it!

Determine the project, at this time Hu Qingquan called:

Finalist!
